Where does Turbomeca get the names for its products?
Most Turbomeca engines bear names taken from the Pyrenees mountain range that forms the backdrop to the company's headquarters. Names of lakes are used for turbo-shaft engines, mountain peaks for the single-spool turbo-jet engines, mountain passes for twin-spool turbo-jet engines, winds for turbo-generators and valleys for turbo-propeller engines. Such is the inspirational power of nature!
